Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Because this is a right triangle, one angle is a right angle (90°). All triangles have all three angle measures adding up to 180°, so the other two angles' measures add up to 90° (90 + 90 = 180).

Combine like terms of the angle measures.

6x + 9x = 15x

-3 + (-12) = -15

15x - 15

Because the sum of the measures of the two angles have to equal 90,

15x - 15 = 90

Add 15 from both sides.

15x = 105

Divide both sides by 15.

x = 7

To check, substitute 7 in both expressions.

6(7) - 3 = 39

9(7) - 12 = 51

39 + 51 + 90 (the measure of the right angle) = 180, so the value of x is 7.

I hope this helped :)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

there are two ways to answer : since angle 1 and the 125 degree angle are a linear pair, you can do 180-125 = 55, or, since the three angles in the triangle always add up to 180, you can do 180-37-88 = 55.

The graph of f(x)=2x^3+x^2-4x-2 is shown. How many of the roots of f(x) are rational

Alexeev081 [22]

We can one theorem to help us find rational roots of this polynomial.

2x^3 + x^2 - 4x - 2

We'll use Descartes' rule of signs.

Because there is 1 sign change, 1 of the 3 roots will be positive.

Now we can make the value of x -1 to see how many negative roots there will be.

-2 + 1 + 4 - 2

There are 2 sign changes, so we know there will be 2 negative roots.
